Adrawbridge rises at a rate of 3 2/3 feet per minute. the drawbridge rises to a height of 50 feet. how long does it take the draw bridge to completely rise?
question 5 options:
13 7/11 feet
183 2/3 feet
13 7/11 minutes
183 2/3 minutes

Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the drawbridge rises at a rate of feet per minute. This means that the drawbridge rises   in a minutes.

Convert from mixed fraction to decimal number:

Since the drawbridge rises to a height of 50 feet, you need to apply this procedure in order to find the time the drawbridge takes to completely rise:

or

11.33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangle is a right triangle ABC which has measure of angle ABC equal to 90 degrees and measure of angle ACB equal to 62 degrees.

The length of AB is 10 feet, which is opposite to angle ACB = 62 degrees.

The distance, in feet, that the box has to travel to move from point A to point C can be calculated by using trigonometry ratio. Since AC is the hypothenus of the triangle.

Using SinØ = opposite/hypothenus

That is

Sin Ø = AB / AC

Where Ø = 62 degree

Substitute Ø and length AB into the formula

Sin 62 = 10/ AC

AC = 10/ sin 62

AC = 10/ 0.8829

AC = 11. 33 feet.
